Dexcom ONE+ iOS app recalled for delayed glucose alerts risk
What this means
A software defect in the Dexcom ONE+ iOS app (versions 1.5.0 and 1.6.0) can delay glucose value notifications when the app runs in the background. When you open the app, glucose readings may display out of order or the app may incorrectly signal loss of connection. This delay could cause you to miss alerts for dangerously high or low blood sugar, or make treatment decisions based on outdated information.
- Update your Dexcom ONE+ iOS app to the latest version available in the App Store.
- If you cannot update immediately, keep the app running in the foreground when monitoring glucose levels.
- Contact Dexcom if you experience delayed or missing glucose alerts.
The agency's original wording
A software defect in which a low-priority file I/O check blocks the higher-priority thread responsible for processing estimated glucose values (EGVs) and trend arrows. When the app is running in the background, EGV notifications may queue up and then "replay" sequentially when the user brings the app to the foreground, causing the Glucose Compass to flicker through previous EGVs. In more severe instances, the app may perceive signal loss and deploy signal loss mitigations. This delay in EGV and alert processing creates a risk that users may miss detection of a hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic event, or make treatment decisions based on outdated glucose information.
